and workmen's compensation insurance with the Town of Webster named
as additional insured and shall be filed with the Building Inspector
before such license shall be issued as hereinbefore specified.
[Amended 8-10-1978]
A license may be refused if the applicant shall
have been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony which, in the judgment
of the Building Inspector, renders the applicant an unfit or undesirable
person or if the applicant, in the opinion of said Building Inspector,
is incapable of conducting the trade, business or calling of plumbing.
Any applicant who has been refused a license by the Building Inspector
may appeal to the Town Board from such refusal, and such license may
be granted or refused by the Board.
The Town Board may revoke any license issued
under the authority of this article, provided that before such revocation
a public hearing thereon has been held and the licensee has had an
opportunity to be heard, and provided that the Town Board, before
such revocation, shall make a determination that such licensee is
undesirable or is incapable, except that a violation of this article
shall be sufficient ground for the revocation of such license. The
granting, refusal or revocation of such license by the Town Board
shall be subject to judicial review.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
A violation of this article or any subdivision
or provision thereof shall be an offense and shall be punishable by
a fine not exceeding 10 times the license amount.
